Answer:

  B. (x-2)^2=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The constant that completes the square is the square of half the coefficient of the x-term. That value is (-4/2)^2 = 4.

There is already a constant of 2 on the left side of the equal sign, so we need to add 2 to both sides to bring that constant value up to 4.

  x^2 -4x +2 = 10 . . . . . . . given

  x^2 -4x +2 +2 = 10 +2 . . . . complete the square (add 2 to both sides)

  (x -2)^2 = 12 . . . . . . . . . write as a square
